Jimcalagon Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 And the majority will see a 15% rise. Talk about selective f**king reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemonday Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 On the BBC yesterday it pointed out that the wholesale price was 34p a therm. 1 therm equating to 29.3071 kwh I believe. Giving a rough price on MG starsaver ( Natural Gas ) of 187.1844p per therm plus a daily charge of 14.954 Giving a total of 202.1384 A ratio of 5.9452 wholesale to home excluding the effects of any advance buying 'strategy' But then again Manx gas customers are not paying excessive prices, the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has concluded.

x-in-man Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I'm fed up with Manx Gas. It's a rip off. I'm going to switch to the other gas supplier on the island now, I'm sure its cheaper. Oh, no wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenie Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Indeed, good for those on natural gas, not for those who aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIVER Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Is it not Jersey Gas and makes Millions of pounds profit from how many MANX customers ? Taking the Piss or what. They should have been booted out when they let the tanks run out in Ramsey a few years ago and caused Chaos for a week. Still got the electric heaters the civil defence gave out, they never came to collect them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moghrey Mie Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 monopolies ripping off captive Manx conssumers is not exactly unusual - good job we have such an effective government - just think how bad it could get otherwise Yes. Manx Telecom certainly perked up when Cable and Wireless Sure arrived. And IOM buses would improve if they had some competition eg small buses in the countryside and shuttle buses to New Noble's Hospital and Ronaldsway Airport.
